My local Somchai fixit brought the Hitachi back this afternoon and the repair cost was only 500 baht and he delivered it personally. A great fixer of anything electrical including water pumps, washing machines, TV sets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, these accidents can be avoided. Do you have a circuit breaker in your living area? Government should make them mandatory. I have a Safe-T-Cut about 1 metre away from my desk followed by a circuit breaker box that isolates a/c, shower heaters, lights and sockets individually or in groups.

As I wrote myself >>All electrical installations should imo have mandatory circuit breakers (maybe already declared a law).<< Yes, I know it's not all that easy and if a new law isn't that harsh it is easier to have it retrospective. Silly example maybe, but true; The law on wearing a helmet when riding a moped or heavier 2 wheeler. Nobody was wearing one; protected by the Gods. Now suddenly everyone must buy a helmet and wear it. For what? Not to possibly die in an accident? Does the government care? A circuit breaker is more expensive and that hurts for many Thai. So should the government not subsidize to protect it's citizens. It feels like a double standard. It's okay to die from electrocution but not when having a traffic accident. Okay, enough.

My house water pump is simply a socket connected to our second house. Having said that it runs through a 6 way cct breaker box and before that is a Safe-T-Cut out box.

It almost feels like a real shot; got some myself. Just stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
